In Perfect Solitude

I came across this in my wonderings...an old poem of my very own! This one is about three years old, which was when I first started letting other people read my work. I was thinking about keeping it for 'Hemera's Interruption' and it would have worked well with the poems already completed for the e-book, but I decided I wanted to fill it only with fresh work.

So I'll post it here instead, as a homage to my 17 year old self.

In Perfect Solitude

In Perfect Solitude

Before my eyes
Winter's hand
Clutching my flesh
Savouring my defeat
Return me now
To the earth
From whence I came
I shall return.

In perfect solitude.

See how the raven
She does hide
From the cloak of
The coming cold
But strength has she
And inner sun
Her battle cry
Will not be silenced.

In perfect solitude.

Fight it all away,
There is no escaping
Perfection
On frozen wings
My libations to you
Cast aside.

In Perfect Solitude.
